It's Only A Name

Teachers often have a hard time choosing names for their children. We've taught too many students that we just want to forget and students who acted so crazy in class we just don't want those names associated with our own off springs. Some names I know I would never have considered;

Mary-Jane ( Mary the dash is not silent Jane)

Shampoo and Conditioner (Cousins)

BoyA and BoyB ( mom was too lazy to change the names on her twin boy's birth certificates)

Cinderella

Fuk (Father kept correcting teaching when she pronounced it Fuke until she explained the meaning of the pronunciation he wanted)
